Never bothered to look it up so I hope it sparks some discussion today. 22" barrel _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Anyway you cut it, I would love that rifle if it were mine. And I would hug it, and pet it, and I would name him George. (Points to whom can name where I stole that from!)

I personally found it odd that you would buy a rifle without any idea what it is, not recognizing the special order butt plate, and then not digging into the "what is it". How long have you had it?

I've had it a year or so. It's been in the safe in a case, out of sight out of mind. In the last year I've moved and been developing our new property so have been heavily pre-occupied. I knew it had condition and rarity in 32-40 so I grabbed it. I suppose that's understandable? Found it yesterday when I was taking photos of a 110 243 and a DE for a couple guys here. I could easily have forgotten it for another year but for that. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

As noted in my first post, I thought that's what the gun is, but didn't want to state it categorically. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."

Don't know if that means it was available special order before that or never, not at all until 1917. Searching Royals book about now too. Murray's is wrong on that. 1899A SR's were available in takedown from June, 1906 when it was introduced through 1920. The 1899H takedown they delayed for several years after it was introduced, but the 1899A/1899A SR were right away. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

The fit looks a little off. I don't have it in hand only the pictures which could be deceiving. Does the butt plate number match the stock? Can you feel any edges with your finger around the butt plate or wood? Might be nothing. Super cool gun regardless. "You cannot invade mainland America.
